Preventing underquoted freelance projects and scope creep
A SaaS platform for freelancers that creates quotes with structured deliverables, revision limits, and exclusions; tracks project time and requests against the quote; automatically identifies out-of-scope work; and generates client-friendly change orders or additional invoices.
The problem
Freelancers, especially designers, often underprice work and then perform unpaid extra tasks when clients request additional revisions, asset research, or deliverables outside the original quote. They lack a clear, low-friction way to define scope, track included work, flag margin erosion, and charge for change requests without damaging the client relationship.
